Great buy great ride
I bought my S40 used still under warranty after looking at buying a new one. The 6 speed is awesome and a great fuel saver. Power and handling are ample and safety features are unparalelled. Driven right you can have fun and get over 23 MPG. Be warned: spacial reasoning is a must. The trunk is hard to while backing up as are the rounded front corners. Factory premium sound will blow your ears off if you want it to. Nav system is good with steering wheel mounted controls, though this can be distracting at times. I recommend 17" wheels at the minimum to improve grip if you plan on driving aggressively.
Is it possible to be in LOVE with a car?
This is my first Volvo. I was considering BMW, Mercedes, Jaguar, even Lexus. Value for dollar, and the fact that the Volvo IS the safest vehicle on the road (I did my homework), it was a clear choice: Volvo. I am in love with this car! The dealership here in Las Vegas treats me like a king. I've never had such a wonderful car buying experience.

My new S40
I love my new S40! It is a great little car! I have driven Honda Accords all my life and made the switch! I am not at all disappointed! It drives GREAT and is so fun to drive. I feel so safe in it, the safety features are unreal! The only minor complaint is that it needs more compartment space on the inside. I keep a lot of stuff in my car and there is not as many places to put it all. But other than that I have no complaints!!! Love it!
Noise Problem
The car has 7,000 miles on it and has developed a noise in the drive train. Volvo has replaced the tranny, the clutch, the shocks, the motor mounts and the axles. They now say that the sound is normal!
First Car
This is my first car and i think it is great. I already got in an accident in my first week and it held up great. The other persons car was totaled (it was a saab). I got it full loaded and it was worth every penny. The Nav is easy to use while driving. The sound system is great going down the street listening to 50 cent. I just bought 18 inch chrome rims and the car looks even better. I could not ask for a better car for a 17 year old.
